Damon swam down into the lake a short distance, but not before taking in two large lungfulls of air. He moved his hands into his personal hand sign, which he used only when he wanted to combine his unique abilities with his ninja skills. He closed his eyes, building up energy inside him. "Soul... spirit... let me join with the element of the soul..." As he poured his will out into the lake, bubbles began to rise nearby, while other places started to freeze. He only focused harder, wanting to complete this before he ran out of air.

Rain looked down as the area of water she was in froze around her, "Oh gee, this is nice." She said, and she was actually laughing.

"Let me join... join me... I'm ready, and I'm waiting..." A surge of bubbles rose up around him, temporarily clouding him from view. Then he began to glow in slow flashes, that eventually escalated into a constant hum of light. The light began to die away, shrinking down until it only radiated from one point, his chest. His eyes were glowing a bright white, and bubbles poured from his mouth. A moment later he rose, coming up to stand on the surface, normal once more and seemingly exhausted. The water stopped bubbling, and the ice melted.

"Oh shi-!" Rain was cut off as she slipped under the water, not expecting the ice to melt so suddenly. She supposed it was it good thing that she had been cut off, since Damon frowned against her cursing. Rain surfaced a second later, her hair soaked, and her ears bent flat against her head. "Cold." was all she said as she quickly darted to the shore, to go and sit next to the fire again.

Damon walked along the lake's surface, making his way to shore with his head down. He swayed lightly as he walked, moving from side to side, and stopped when he reached solid ground. "That was odd," he said finally, looking up, "but it felt good. And I think it worked. Not sure how to test it though."

Rain frowned, and she made the fire warmer, yet it didn't seem to help much. "Sorry, I'm not quiet sure how you would test it either.." she said softly, edging rather close to the fire.

Damon sat down, rubbing his eyes. "I'm sure if there's a way, we'll find it sooner or later." He squinted at her for a second, then reached out and touched her arm. Immediately, everything about him shot into her, flashing before her eyes. What made him tick, what he liked and disliked, everything about his being that one could ever know played out before her in a split-second, and most likely, vice-versa.

Rain gasped, "I er, think it works." she barely managed to say. Rain paused, her face growing very red, "Er, I have to go.." She said, racing off. She was unsure if the thing had worked both ways, and if it did, she would rather not see Damon's reaction.

"No you don't," he said, watching her. "You're just embarrassed and afraid of the things I saw, and you want to leave to avoid confrontation, and plan what to do when it finally does happen." He poked a stick at the fire, keeping it alive. "Just so you know, I knew a long, long time ago. You're bad at masking your emotions."

Rain paused, she was barely in sight now. 'He knew?...' she should have known that he would figure it out. Rain hesitated looking back toward the fire where Damon sat. If she were to leave would he stop her? No, she doubted that. Rain took a few steps back toward the fire, but not going directly to it. Then, she sat down.

"I'm sorry I can't feel anything back," he started. "First of all, with this evil being separated from the good inside me, it's far too dangerous to agitate any emotions. The slightest bit can flip the switch. I've gotten good at not caring, lately, and I'm afraid it would be reckless to let myself care now. You're better off finding someone else." He returned his kunai into his pouch, relying on the normal fire now. "There are a multitude of reasons why."

Rain's eyes teared up and she looked away to hide them, but why bother? Damon had already stated she was bad at hiding things. A familiar feeling filled her, but it was worse than before. Without a word, she stood and walked off into the woods and out of sight.

Damon sighed. He hated having to do that. He wasn't sure why, though. Maybe because she was his friend, maybe because he didn't want to lose a valuable henchperson. There always seemed to be two ways of looking at things. He stood, stomping the fire out, and began walking toward her. True, she couldn't be seen by the naked eye at the moment, but he could sense her soul moving through the forest. "Surely you understand," he said, Berstunic acting as a telepathic link. "It's for your safety."

"Safety? I already told you.. No nevermind.." Rain replied, her mental voice trailed off, and hurt rang through it as if she were actually speaking. It was odd how a person could be so happy one moment and then, sorrow fills then. But thats what life is all about... Right?

"It's for my safety too!" he mentally urged. "Don't you understand? You're what's splitting me in two, Rain! You're giving me a split-personality, because you're drawing my true self out, but the more you do that, the less stable I am."
